Leona purchased a $1,000 bond having a quoted price of 99.875. She had to pay a 5.5% brokerage fee (of the selling price). What
1 answer:
Answer:
The total cost of the bond is none of the given choices.
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of a $1000 bond = $99.875
The brokerage fee = 5.5 %
Now, 5.5% of $99.875 =
So, the brokerage fee = $5.493
Now, to find out the total cost of the bond:
Total Cost = The selling Price + Brokerage Price
= $99.875 + $5.493
= $105.368
or, the total price of the $1000 bond is $ 105.368.
Hence, the total cost of the bond is none of the given choices.

In geometry, it is always advantageous to draw a diagram from the given information in order to visualize the problem in the context of the given.
A figure has been drawn to define the vertices and intersections.
The given lengths are also noted.
From the properties of a kite, the diagonals intersect at right angles, resulting in four right triangles.
Since we know two of the sides of each of the right triangles, we can calculate their heights which in turn are the segments which make up the other diagonal.
From triangle A F G, we use Pythagoras theorem to find
h1=A F=sqrt(20*20-12*12)=sqrt(256)=16
From triangle DFG, we use Pythagoras theorem to find
h2=DF=sqrt(13*13-12*12)=sqrt(25) = 5
So the length of the other diagonal equals 16+5=21 cm
